Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Chapter 20 Three Years

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Minato Namikaze graduated early at the age of 10.

Minato Namikaze, who had received training from Jiraiya, fought against Chiba several times in sparring matches at the Ninja Academy.

Minato Namikaze used his specially trained speed to fight Chiba.

However, Minato Namikaze lost to Chiba every time.

However, Minato Namikaze's growth rate surprised Chiba.

Every time he fought Minato Namikaze, Minato's speed was much faster than the last time.

However, Chiba is also growing. Now, with only Thunder Breathing full sword form at her disposal, Chiba is also undergoing special training on speed to make herself even faster.

After graduating early and becoming a genin, Minato Namikaze continued to train under Jiraiya. Chiba hadn't seen Minato Namikaze for two years.

Although Chiyu had the ability to graduate early, she did not apply.

First of all, Chiba felt there was no need to apply in advance. Unlike Minato Namikaze, he didn't have a famous teacher to teach him after graduating early.

It's peacetime now, so even if he graduated early, as a genin, he could only do some D-rank missions in the village.

Although there is no open abuse directed at Qianyu in the village now, they still despise him from the bottom of their hearts.

Qianyu didn't want to do any D-level quests like finding pets or picking up trash, as they paid very little and were troublesome.

Instead of wasting this time, you might as well cultivate for a while longer.

After Tsunade returned to Konoha that day, she stayed for two days, visited Mito Uzumaki, and then left again with Shizune.

Although Kushina Uzumaki saw Tsunade again at Mito Uzumaki's mansion, she did not speak to Tsunade because Kushina still harbored some resentment towards Tsunade after the incident where Chiba helped her.

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze left Konoha for training, and Tsunade also left Konoha. Now, only Orochimaru remains of the Sannin.

Chiba had already met Mito Uzumaki.

As the wife of the First Hokage of Konoha, Chiba believed that Mito Uzumaki must be a member of the Hokage's faction.

Therefore, Chiba was still somewhat wary of Mito Uzumaki.

However, Chiba was somewhat puzzled by Mito Uzumaki's attitude towards him.

Because it felt overly enthusiastic.

Kushina Uzumaki is currently learning the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques from Mito Uzumaki.

The fact that Chiba had awakened the Sharingan was not publicized.

Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed Jiraiya and Tsunade to keep this matter a secret.

If the Uchiha clan finds out that Chiba has awakened the Sharingan, they will definitely come after him.

Perhaps this will allow Chiba to return to the Uchiha clan, but it will also lead to conflict with Chiba.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi is planning to train Chiba, he naturally won't let Chiba return to the Uchiha clan. Moreover, now is not the time to take action against the Uchiha clan, and if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, he has no way to openly protect Chiba.

Therefore, concealing the Sharingan is the best course of action. By the time Chiba grows up, the die will have been cast, and the Uchiha clan will have no way to stop him.

Chiyu was happy with this arrangement; he was too lazy to get entangled with those arrogant Uchiha who looked down on him.

During these three years, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara, Might Guy, and others were born one after another.

Based on the fact that Kakashi went to the battlefield at the age of five, it can be deduced that...

We have at most two more years of peacetime before we plunge into the Cold War, or even less.

Because Kushina Uzumaki will be kidnapped by three members of the Kumogakure.

This was around the time when Kushina Uzumaki became a genin, but it's unclear exactly when.

However, once the kidnapping incident occurs, localized conflicts are likely to break out in the ninja world.

Kushina Uzumaki is currently 12 years old, which means she has 6 years left until she comes of age and succeeds Mito Uzumaki as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Mito Uzumaki will die.

Time is running out for Chiyu.

There are at most two years left in peacetime, while Kushina Uzumaki has six years left before becoming the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, the only way to quickly improve one's strength is on the battlefield.

Now, Chiyu makes full use of her evenings, subjecting herself to rigorous training.

And the results were quite good.

The Uzumaki clan, distant relatives of the Senju clan, each possesses a large amount of chakra.

As someone who possesses half the bloodline of the Senju clan, Senba's chakra reserves have also increased exponentially.

Chiba needs to obtain enough Witness Points and increase his strength as much as possible before Kushina Uzumaki becomes the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Over the course of three years, Qianyu has earned 50 Witness Points.

Because Chiba witnessed Might Guy's birth.

At that time, Chiba had strained his muscles due to overexertion during training, so he wanted to go to the ninja hospital to buy some medicine.

At the ninja hospital, I overheard someone calling for Might Guy.

Out of curiosity about Might Guy, the ruthless man who single-handedly killed four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Chiba secretly followed him for a look.

And it was precisely because of this that Chiyu coincidentally witnessed Might Guy's birth and gained 50 Witness Points.

However, Chiba was unable to witness the birth of others.

Because they were all from the ninja clan, Chiba had no way of getting close to them.

...

It was getting dark.

Meanwhile, in Konoha's training grounds, Chiba was still training.

Chiyu used 10 Witness Points to exchange for another katana. Without using chakra, she relied solely on her own strength to practice swinging the katana against the wooden stake.

Sweat dripped from Qianyu's cheeks onto the ground.

suddenly.

A hoarse voice sounded from behind Qianyu.

"They're really working hard."

Qianyu felt a chill run down his spine and up to the top of his head; he hadn't even sensed someone behind him.

Qianyu immediately turned around and looked, her pupils shrinking.

Pale skin, purple eyeshadow, magatama-shaped earrings, and vertical pupils like a snake.

Orochimaru is one of the only Sannin that Chiba has never met.

Chiyu quickly composed herself, bowed slightly, and respectfully said, "Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru crossed his arms and strode up to Chiba: "I've been observing you for many days now. You're so young, yet you've mastered such powerful ninjutsu and taijutsu, and you've also awakened the Sharingan. You truly are a descendant of the Uchiha and Senju clans."

Chiyu raised her head, looking at Orochimaru with unwavering confidence, and asked in confusion, "Lord Orochimaru, have you been observing me for many days?"

Orochimaru had a smile on his face, but in Chiyu's eyes, that smile always felt like a sneer: "The old man seems to like you very much and wants me to take you as my disciple. I have no intention of taking on disciples, after all, taking on disciples would mean being distracted from teaching them. However, I have become interested in you now."

Qianyu, I feel like we're the same kind of people, pretending to be someone we want others to see.

Don't argue with me; the look in your eyes, even when you don't mean it, doesn't lie. But I quite like that snake-like look in your eyes, always ready to devour someone.

Chiyu felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected Orochimaru to come here with the intention of taking him as a disciple.

Chapter 21 Test

Orochimaru suddenly appeared on the training ground and said that Hiruzen Sarutobi was very fond of him and wanted Orochimaru to take him as his disciple.

Qianyu's brain almost crashed for a moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very fond of him, and Chiba could tell.

Because it had happened more than once, Hiruzen Sarutobi had been subtly and overtly reminding Chiba that she could apply for the graduation exam early and become a full-fledged ninja.

However, Qianyu pretended to be confused and fooled them all.

Chiba was unwilling to graduate early and become an ordinary ninja, performing low-level missions; in her view, it was a complete waste of time.

Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi can clearly state that he can directly participate in combat missions after graduation.

Unless Hiruzen Sarutobi explicitly states it, Chiba won't gamble on that chance.

If Qianyu loses the bet, she'll have to go pick up trash.

Chiba never expected that Orochimaru would come to her door in person just two days before her graduation exams.

Moreover, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who introduced it.

Chiba suddenly realized that Orochimaru was still one of the most prestigious Sannin in Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi's prized disciple, and one of Konoha's pillars.

Orochimaru has not yet experienced being completely overwhelmed by the Sharingan; he is merely a Konoha ninja who yearns to learn all the techniques in the world.

However, Orochimaru was still in some danger during this period.

Orochimaru, having lost both his parents at a young age and witnessed the deaths of his friend Dan Kato and his apprentice Nawaki, already had a negative mindset, and he must be starting to drift into darkness now.

Furthermore, Orochimaru will later collaborate with Konoha's higher-ups to conduct research on Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.

Chiba, who possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan, is the best experimental subject.

However, the research into Wood Release should only take place after the Third Shinobi World War, when the selection of the next Hokage begins.

Chiyu doesn't know if Orochimaru has started learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the dead or researching the art of immortality.

Overall, the risks of becoming Orochimaru's disciple are not high at present, after all, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who personally introduced him.
